Anderson then held throw then broke James with a brilliant 11 darter, Gary managed to win the last 2 legs to scrape a point.

After James said “it feels like defeat on one hand but on the other i was lucky to be 6-2 up when Gary missed doubles” Both players agreed that any point in this years Premier League.

James would like to thank his fans and sponsors for their continued support this season and the machine will be back in action next week at Cardiff.
